TYPOGRAPHICAL MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar, 6, 1917 Application filed March 17', 1.915. Serial No. 14,893.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID S. KENNEDY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Typographical Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to typographical machines, such as linotype machines of the general organization represented in Letters Patent No. 436532, to O. Mergenthaler, wherein circulating matrices are released from a magazine in the order in which their characters are to appear in print and then assembled in line, the composed line transferred to the face of a'mold, the mold filled with molten metal to form a slug or linotype against the matrices which produce the type characters thereon, and the matrices thereafter returned through distribut-' ing mechanism to the magazine from which they started. More particularly, it relates auxiliary fonts of matrices.

to those machines equipped with a )lurality of fonts of matrices, any selected one of which may be'used at will.

In my prior Letters Patent, No. 1,136,535, dated April 20, 1915, I have illustrated a machine equipped with two series of magazines, those of one series containing regular or main fonts, and those -of the other series containing special or auxiliary .fonts, and wherein the two series are arranged side by side and are movable independently :of

' each other, to bring different selected pairs of magazines intooperative relation to the distributing and assembling devices .for simultaneoususe. The principle of such arrangement, as fully set forth in said application, is to permit the mixture of various fonts or faces in the machine for the'production of matter of many different descriptionst My present invention specifically aimsto simplify the construction shown in said application, and in particular to permit the manipulation of the magazines containing the auxiliary fonts in a convenient and expeditious manner. It is to be understood, however, that my invention is equally applicable to machines employing a!" single series of magazines, and quite irrespective of whether they contain regular fonts or thereto;

zines E, containing the auxiliary fonts, an

Inrthe accompanying drawings, I have shown my inventionin preferred form and erally speaking, I desire it to 'be understood that I do not limit myself to any specific form or embodiment, except in so, far as,

such limitations are specified in the claims;

Referring to .the drawings:- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a linotype machine, having my invention applied Fig. 2 is a plan view, partly broken away,

of a portion of the machine;

Fig. 2 is a detail-view;

Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing principally the auxiliary magazines, certain parts being omitted and others broken away;

Figs. 4; and 5 are detail-views;

Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 3, showing the parts in difierent position;

Fig. 7 is a detail-view;

Fig. 8 is a section on the line 88.of Fig. 6; and g X Fig. 9 is a detail-view. The matrices Xof the regular fonts are stored in the series of main magazines A carried by the supportingframe B, which is mounted in the machine frame so as to be movable up and dowri therein by the operation of the handle C to bring one or another of the magazines into operative relation to the channeled raceway or assem-- bler entrance H. The matrices are released from the operative magazine by the manipulation of the keyboard H and pass onto the belt H which delivers them to the assembler (not shown) inthe customary man ner. Arranged at the side of the magazines A is a second series of supplemental magacarried by the supporting frame F, which is movably mounted in the machmejrame so as to bring one or another of 1ts'magazines into operative relation to thestationary throat J opening into the channeled raceway H, the latter being extended sufficiently to cooperate with both series of magazines.

The auxiliary matrices are released from the active magazine E by a single series of escapements J located in the throat J, and

locking bars L slidably mounted in guideways of the framework and having .at opposite ends lateral projections L which are adapted to engage in one or another of a plurality of notches F formed in plates F carried by the frame F there being two such plates F applied tothe outer face of each of the two side members F and each having as many notches F as there are magazines in the frame (see in particular Fig. 'lhe'locking bars L are normally held with their projections L in engagement with the notches F by springs L connected at one end to the bars and at the opposite end to the framework. As shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, a pair of arms or levers M, fixed to the opposite ends of a transverse rock shaft M have their free ends arranged behind and in engagement with small rollers L secured to the forward ends of the bars L. By rocking the two arms M effected by means of a sliding plate K4 connected by pin-and-slot connections to the hand lever K and having a laterally projecting roller K arranged to bear upon a curved surface M formed on one of the arms M, (see Figs. 2, 3 and. 4). The plate K is cpnnected by a link K to an operating member K: pivoted to the hand lever K at its grip portion. The effect of the arrangement is that when the hand lever K is grasped by the operator for the purpose of moving the magazines, the plate K is drawn forwardly so as to rock the arms M and disengage the locking bars L from the movable supporting frame It is pointed out that the curvature of the surface M is such that when the lever M is in its forward position, the curvature coincides with the the rear end of in a grooved block R of the framework and are of a. circle described from the pivotal point K of the lever K as a center, the purpose being to avoid any interference with thelevers M and the connected locking bars L, as the hand lever K is raised and lowered to move the magazines.

In orderto prevent the unlocking of the auxiliary magazines E when matrices are still in course of distribution, I propose to connect the locking bars L with the wellknewn matrix feeler or detector R, as fol lows :-Referring to Figs. 1, .3 and 5, the fcelcr R is mounted so as to be swung transversely into and out of the distributing mechanism by an arm R which is connected to the upper end of a lever R pivoted between its ends to the framework, as at W, and provided at its lower end with a curved portion 12*. Cooperating with the portion R? is a rollerR (see Fig. 5) carried upon a link It slidably engaged connected at its forward end, as at R", to

the sliding plate K attached to the hand lever K. As a result of this arrangement, when the plate K is drawn forwardly to move the locking bars L to inactive position, the feeler R is projected into the path of the matrices passing through the distributing mechanism. Consequently, if any matrices are present therein, the movement of the feeler- R is arrested thereby and the forward movement of the plate K is thus prevented, so that the unlocking of the magazines cannot take place. If, on the other hand, no matrices are in course of distribution, the feeler R is not so arrested, and the plate K is then free to be drawn forwardly to unlock the magazines. It is pointed out that fine curvature of the portion R of the lever B is such that when the latter is in its operated position, the curvature will stand concentric with the path of movement of the roller R of the link B", so that the latter maybe moved freely with the hand lever K, to which it is connected, without any tendencyto move the lever R It should also be noted that the block 11 is pivotally mounted in the machine frame to permit the movement of the link B in the manner just stated, (see Fig. 2).

Since the magazines E are Without escapements, means are provided to hold the matrices therein when they are out .of operative position or when they are removed from the machine. To this end, each magazine is provided with a transverse locking device 0, of well known construction, which is rotatably mounted in bearings on'the upper side thereof so as to be movable into and out of the magazine and thus be engaged with and disengaged from the upper ears of the lowermost matrices therein, I

plate connected there 0 bypin-andslot' connections, and having at its forward end an inclined surface 0 arranged to engage a roller 0 projecting inwardly from the arm (see also Fig. 2).

The plates are in turn movable by a series of blocks P arranged to slide back and forth in elongatedslots P formed in one of the side members F of the frame F, there being as many such blocks P as there are magazines in the machine. As shown clearly in Fig.' 9, the blocks P are formed with flanges P which embrace the frame member F on opposite sides of the slots P *and thus guide the blocks accurately in their sliding movements. The blocks are also formed on their opposite edges with laterally projectingstuds I the inner ones being arranged to engage lateral projections t) on the sliding plates while the outer ones are adapted to be engaged by the upper end of a lever N pivoted at N to the framework and having its lower end in. positionto be. engaged by a roller L? on one of the locking bars l), (we particularly Fig. H). spring IV connected at one end to held in inactive condition by the plate 0' which has been moved l'orwardly through the. medium of the block l by the pivoted lever N. the latter being so arranged that the loching'bar i), when in active position,

--holds it in its forward position as shown in Fig. ti, it being noted that the spring L of the locking bar Ii is of suthcient strength to overcome the resistance of the two pr g X and connected to the pivoted lever X and locking device 0 respectively. When, however, the. locking bar L is moved for wardly to unlock the magazines, its roller L is ,diseug'agcd from the lever N, which is then pulled rearward by its spring N (as shown in Fig. 23), this action of the parts also allowing the spring 0 to move the lockingdevice ot the magazine to active position and also'to restore the. plate 0. and member l tof'their original positions. The. magazines are. now free. to be shifted. the matrices being securely locked, in all of them. \Vhen another magazine is now brought into operative position, the above action is reversed, namcly the locking bar l} is moved rearwardly by its spring L to engage the projections l in the notches F ot the magazine. frame i which movement of the bar causes the. roller if to engage the lower end of the. lever N and shift its upper end forwardly against the. action ol? the spring N. This movement of the lever N through the. medium of the member l slides the. plate. t) on the magazine forwardly, the.

. inclined surface t) of the. plate engaging 'scription.

When' one of the magazines is in' be seen the a rrangement; of the parts is such that the connections between the locking devices and their actuating means will not interfere with the removal of the magazines trom their supporting frame,. and also that when themagazines are so removed from the machine. there will be no danger of the matrices escaping therefrom, it being noted that the locking devices 0 are held normally in their active position due to the action of the springs The general operation of the parts will have been understood from the foregoing deit may be noted. however, that the. matrix locking devices 0, the magazine locking devices L, and the matrix feeler R, are all operated simultaneously before and a t't'er the shi l'ting ot' the magazines, the construction being such that the matrix looking devices are moved to active and inactive positionas the magazine locking devices are moved to inactive and active position, re

s wctively, and also that the operation of such locking devices is allowed or prevented according to whether matrices are absent from or )resent in the distributin mechanism.

While in the accompanying drawings I have shown my invention as applied to the special form of magazines described. it will be l)\i )lls. t ll:it it is equally applicable to magazines of ordinary construction, quite irrespective of v.whether they are used as auxiliary magazines or main magazines.
